RICHMOND, Ind. — Those in East Central Indiana, be warned. It's about to get really, really cold. And thanks to wind chills, it's going to feel even colder.

The National Weather Service has issued a wind chill advisory, in effect from 10 p.m. Tuesday to 11 a.m. Wednesday. Affected areas listed include Wayne, Fayette, Randolph and Union counties, as well as Preble County in Ohio.

Residents within the area of advisory can expect very cold wind chills that could cause frost bite within as little as 30 minutes of exposure, according to the weather service. Conditions can also lead to hypothermia.

Temperatures for Tuesday night could reach a low around zero degrees, with wind chills as low as -12. Wind chill values will remain similar heading into Wednesday morning, though sunshine is expected.

Wind chill values will range from zero to 10 degrees below zero Thursday morning. High temperatures are expected to increase into the 20s by Friday, but more cold air will follow into the weekend to end that quick "heat wave."

NWS urges residents to wear warm attire such as hats and gloves.
